Autogenic training [1] is exactly a relaxation technique focussing on the progressive relaxation of body regions. It is very easy to learn and a body-first approch to approach meditative states, which can then be used for auto-suggestion.

Thanks for the link. This line in particular is concerning.

"This identified vulnerability could lead in the worst case scenario to an uncommanded elevator movement that may result in exceeding the aircraft structural capability."

Well, I think in the grand scheme of things (including on the ground), the range of safety faults that can be triggered by a simple bitflip at the wrong moment range from inconvenient to absolute disaster. So in that sense, I'm very happy that Airbus has managed to identify opportunities to improve their design to be even more resilient.

Asianomics released a video on how withdrawing groundwater can dramatically lower the elevation of entire cities — I was surprised by how large an effect just a couple of years of human activity can have.

Around 10-15 years ago I read that Intel had a large somewhat secretive department working on exactly this idea, I believe the article described it as self-assembling sand or goo.

Anyone know what became of it?

Perhaps also interesting, an approach for bicycle tires that optimizes the thread pattern to cancel out road noise:

.ONG was new to me:

"The PIR simultaneously applied for the top-level domain .ong, which is a similarly recognisable initialism for "organisation non gouvernementale" in French, and equivalent terms in many other Romance languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian." [1]

So similar to e.g. NATO and OTAN.

I am building an on-premise annotation platform for medical image data (MVA.ai) where it is used for both backend and frontend (WASM). Really enjoy the language, with the key aspects being the low level control and performance, the build system and cross-compilation, comptime for generics, the easy integration of existing C libraries and the support for WASM. Manual memory management is sometimes a bit tedious, but you get used to it quite quickly. On the other hand, being able to use different allocators can even give you something like 'lifetimes'.

Very happy with kagi. As good as google in its best days, if not better.

In 19 out of 20 cases the first link is what I need, for both private and work related searches. Very fast, no ads.
